Wait, Switch was a man in the real world and a woman in the matrix? That&#x27;s awesome. From the Matrix wiki:<p>&gt; In the original script of the Matrix film, Switch changed genders upon entering the Matrix, which coined their name, Switch. In the real world, Switch would be male, and in the Matrix, Switch would be female - a very clever and critical point of the &#x27;residual self-image&#x27; idea. When the actress, Belinda McClory auditioned for the role, she was going for only half the role - Switch&#x27;s Matrix form.<p>&gt; Warner Brothers made the decision to cut this and give Switch one form for both environments.<p>&gt; Switch&#x27;s presentation is deliberately androgynous to pay homage to her original concept.<p>I love the Matrix (and the Animatrix stories) because of neat ideas like this.

I don&#x27;t really get the sense of this from the movie. The movie is straight up Gnosticism in a cyberpunk form, in the sense it appeared in during history. Kind of an offshoot of Christianity. You even get the main villain being the demiurge with Neo as the Gnostic Christ who frees us from the evil God&#x27;s reign through his death. there&#x27;s a lot of gnostic concepts, such as the world being an illusion that is only revealed through secret knowledge, and the need to awaken people to reality.<p>I kind of feel this is more Lily&#x27;s transition coloring her past. If it were about trans even if the studio were against it, you&#x27;d see a lot more body fluidity or the focus would be a lot different.

One theory is that the red pill is a reference to premarin, the most common estrogen prescribed for HRT in the 90s.

No it isn&#x27;t. Perhaps it was intended to be and perhaps there was an allegorical meaning in earlier drafts, but the films are in fact perfectly straightforward.

Imagine writing and directing a trans allegory in 1999— when the studio thinks a character portrayed as male in the real world and female in the Matrix is crossing the line— and then rapidly:<p>• having your whole franchise met with critical acclaim and commercial success<p>• sparking philosophical conversations among people who might&#x27;ve never had them otherwise<p>• having a bunch of MRAs led covertly by a Republican politician co-opt your shit anonymously on the Internet, misdirecting frustrated people for decades toward misogyny and damaging countless lives*<p>• building up an enormously anticipated film trilogy and video game franchise with tons of media attention<p>• inspiring a devoted fan base to look deeper and deeper for different varieties of symbolism throughout the canon<p>...all the while carrying this underlying message, unbeknownst to almost every trend-surfing professor, every armchair philosopher, every idiot misogynist, every news reporter, film critic and fan. It&#x27;s flown over so many inflated heads, because it was subtle out of necessity, and we were too blind to see.<p>Shameless cranial plug: try and maybe fork my Matrix code! <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Rezmason&#x2F;matrix" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;Rezmason&#x2F;matrix</a><p>* not blaming the Matrix for this, that&#x27;s a whole other conversation

Gotta hand it to the Wachowskis, they&#x27;ve really put dedication into the Matrix mythos. 20 years later and long since it&#x27;s end they&#x27;re STILL commited to making it stupider.<p>If you actually watch the video. It&#x27;s all about a bunch of general themes and tropes featured in most works of fiction that can be easily twisted to whatever the interpreter desires. In this case, it&#x27;s their after the fact transition.<p>&quot;It speaks to trans people because transformation in the sci-fi genre is just about imagination and worldbuilding and seemingly impossible things become possible&quot;<p>&quot;It was sci-fi and fantasy because we&#x27;re trans&quot;<p>&quot;Being trans gave us ideas that hadn&#x27;t been done before on film&quot;<p>&quot;We incorporated multiple genres because we&#x27;re trans&quot;<p>If you think I&#x27;m being unfair, that&#x27;s literally all the context given. The actual explainations of the supposed themes last for like 30 seconds combined and the the rest of the video is completely unrelated word salad. The most concrete evidence of ANY potential transgender themes is switch and it&#x27;s glossed over in about 5 seconds. WTF?<p>We&#x27;ve reached &quot;Rugrats is actually Angelica&#x27;s coma dream&quot; levels of fan theory at this point. Hats off to them.
